Okay, lately, I've been getting reviews on Magic Wonders, and most of them are filled with... suggestions. Now, normally, I would love a suggestion, BUT... well, just read the story. I think it'll speak for itself.


It was another normal day in Dimmsdale, taking place sometime after Timmy's very first trip to Fairy World as both of them had relaxed on the couch. Vicky was away for quite some time, presumably training Tootie to be her protégé, Timmy's parents were going out for a big date together (presumably on a cruise ship that Chloe happily gave tickets to), and Chloe's parents were off in the jungles for another adventure, trying to save some mynah birds from extinction.

As a matter of fact, Chloe and Timmy were just having the peace and quiet to themselves... so peaceful in fact that...

"AAAAAAAAGH!"

Timmy and Chloe jumped at the sudden scream as they looked around in confusion.

"What's going on?" Chloe asked.

All of a sudden, two familiar fairies appeared as one of them looked indifferent, and the other one mad as heck. And surprisingly, Cosmo was the one who was looking angry. "Ergh, guh, duh, rah!"

Timmy and Chloe just watched as Cosmo continually kicked down everything that was in his sight, from Timmy's computer, to a side table, to even the fishbowl the fairies were living in.

"What's wrong with Cosmo?" Timmy asked in surprise. "He's never usually this angry."

Wanda gave a sigh as she looked down. "I don't suppose you've heard of the... 'Fourth Wall', do you?"

Chloe and Timmy raised some eyebrows as Chloe asked, "Isn't that what people refer to as 'someone watching us from the screen'?"

"Wait, what?" Timmy asked in shock. "Are you saying that... we're not real?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant, Timmy." Chloe gave a sigh. "I guess I should have told you this when we were in Fairy World, but... like Earth, there was a television network that specializes in special programming... heck, I was a star of a reality TV show for at least a couple years until I figured it out."

"Wait... you're a star of a Fairy TV program? Does that mean, fairies from all over Fairy World are watching our conversation right now?" Timmy asked in confusion.

Chloe nodded. "Let's just say that it's a side gig for Cosmo and Wanda when the TV network in Fairy World saw me helping fairies around."

"Cosmo, of course, stupidly signed the contract." Wanda rolled her eyes. "But anyway, getting back on point, we got the latest reviews for this week."

"You have?" Timmy asked in interest. "What do they say?"

"That's just it, sport." Wanda said as a newspaper poofed in her hand and flipped through the pages. "Some of them say good, some of them give advice... and some... give suggestions."

"What's wrong with giving suggestions? If anything, they can improve the story." Timmy asked as he took the newspaper.

"...Not those type of suggestions, sport." Wanda sighed as Timmy and Chloe were looking over the paper, as meanwhile, Cosmo flew over to the toilet and used his wand to send a magic blast at the porcelain, destroying it in teeny, tiny pieces as water began to flood all over the upstairs room.

"Uh... what are anti-fairies?" Timmy asked in confusion.

"Something WE SHOULDN'T BE KNOWING ABOUT YET!" Chloe frowned as she sighed. "Jesus Christ, people."

"'Have the anti-fairies be fairy godparents!' 'Have Chloe and her family related to Mr. Crocker!' 'Hey, this makes a good plot... Chloe's Parents are anti-fairies!' What the heck is all THIS?" Timmy asked in shock and confusion.

"That's what I said!" Cosmo yelled out as he poofed back into the room.

"Reviews should be used to give pointers to authors who might want to improve the story, or give a valuable opinion or criticism on things. If people want to suggest plots, that's fine, but they shouldn't be putting these in reviews!" Timmy frowned. "All it does is spam the story with unnecessary ideas that these people, if they think the ideas are good, they should be writing these ideas themselves!"

"Tell me about it!" Chloe growled. "Maybe another trip to Fairy World is in order..."

"Agreed!" Timmy said as he turned to his fairies. "Cosmo, Wanda, if you don't mind...?"

The two nodded as they raised their wands.


"I can see where you two are coming from." A purple haired fairy with a TV producer's outfit on said as he sat in his desk, with Timmy, Chloe and the fairies sitting in front of them. "I've seen the reviews too. Personally, I don't believe these suggestions are helpful at all."

"Exactly!" Cosmo called out. "That is EXACTLY what I'm saying!"

"But what do we do?" Timmy asked. "How do we tell people that they shouldn't put their suggestions in reviews and clutter things up?"

"Yeah! Further... I'm starting to think that some of these 'reviews' were from the same guy, just under different names. Personally, it's a waste of time just coming up with new personas just to give out ideas. This... 'show' isn't a message board!" Chloe frowned. "So tell me, Mr. Sparklefield, what do we do about this?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I have an idea that we think might work. We've had this 'personal mailbox', PM for short, right next to the collection of shows. If people want to give out ideas, they should just PM us. The worst we can do is say no, and give reasons why." Simon Sparklefield explained.

"Oh? And just HOW can we send these PMs?" Cosmo asked in curiosity.

"They've been a thing in people's profiles since the beginning. All one has to do is go over to a person's 'account', touch the 'PM' function, write down their message, and send it over to us. We read the message, and we can either agree with or turn down a request." Simon Sparklefield said with a smile. "Does that make you guys feel comfortable."

"It certainly does." Timmy smiled. "I just hope these people think about using that 'PM' function more often. It's a very handy tool."

"Indeed, it is, sport, indeed it is." Wanda said happily.

"Well, if there's no other complaints, then I suppose you should all go back home and pretend this conversation never happened, because, technically, I'm not supposed to be speaking with you guys yet." Simon said. "Off you go, now, off you go."

The four nodded as Cosmo and Wanda raised their wands up as the four poofed out of the room. As soon as Simon Sparklefield thought everything was clear, he looked at the newspaper again, with a perplexed look on his face. "Seriously, anti-fairies being fairy godparents? That's just a stupid idea!"


Okay, I think I made my point. This is just something I wanted to vent on for some time, about 'using reviews as a message board' and 'how to use the PM function' and all that. If this comes across as personal, I do apologize, but I'm just trying to say something. But seriously, guys, don't review my stories to use it as a message board. That's what the forums AND Private Messaging are for! Okay, with that said, this has been a Public Service Announcement.
